520 _a'The Labyrinth of Sustainability' offers the first comprehensive effort to analyze corporate sustainability systematically in the Latin American context-and to extract lessons for companies across the developing world. Featuring an introduction by the prizewinning author and Yale professor Daniel Esty, the book starts off with examining the "sustainability imperative"-the notion that businesses must work toward sustainability to be successful in today's marketplace. The 12 chapters that follow present a collection of carefully developed and tightly framed case studies from companies across Latin America highlighting how they are addressing this imperative. Contributions from leading experts around the region bring a freshness and authenticity as well as a nuanced and grounded approach that make this volume a must-read for business leaders, government officials, non-governmental organization advocates, journalists and academics in Latin America and across the world.
